I continue to feel my body relaxing while focusing on increasing the 'sinking' feeling as well as full body tactile sense. I feel that it is time to start moving a dream body into a scene. I become aware of visuals forming around me, and a lot brown color begins appearing along with a soft looking texture. I find myself laying down in the front seats of a car. I begin reaching for the wooden dashboard with my dream arms as I focus on sliding my whole body over. I mentally tell myself it is time to stand and I am free to go. I want to phase out of the sedan with brown velvety interior, so I head to the back, happy to have transitioned through the WILD. Once my head backs through the rear of the car, my visuals become very blurry and my movement feels a bit impeded. The dream begins to transition to a white void, and I allow it as I figure I will just wait for the next scene. I stay focused and decide to try the new stabilization goal of slamming the ground with an open palm, like a 'thunderclap', as opposed to clapping hands. I kneel down in the white void and try it twice, but there is no solid contact, and no sound. I experiment with hand clapping, and feel the contact as well as the loud sound. I verbally tell myself to just hang in a bit longer, and wait for the scene. I begin to notice a few faint colors and shapes appearing very slowly, then a light-walled room forms around me along with a door with sparse paint splatters and a bronze circular handle. A back corner appears along with a few light switches and an exercise bike. I jog my memory for some dream goals and remember the visiting a Dream Shaman in his hut, and eating some cacao. I head over to the exercise bike and flick open the plastic box on the handle for some dark chocolate. There is none inside. I want to stay engaged with tactile sense, so I feel all the light switches on the wall. I look left to the door and decide to head through, and want to head to the Reishi Forest. I close my eyes and imagine a lush forest as I reach out, turn the handle and pull. I open my eyes, but it just connects to a descending staircase, in similar design to the previous room. I walk down and see a large black figure standing midway down. It is a large black wolf. I think back to a recent lucid and want to use a taming chant on it to make it a dream companion. I stick out my hand and chant two syllables which come to me intuitively. It sound similar to "come here" in polish. The large wolf heads behind me and I know that it is loyal now. I continue walking down the steps, but I immediately return to my waking body and have my first experience of my waking eyes spontaneously opening slightly after a dream.
I woke up with my second alarm and went straight back to lying down attempting to MILD again. I must have dozed off for a little bit as I come back to awareness with a bright white rectangle…

Non-lucid, Lucid I woke up just now at around 5:38 AM. Before that, I was sleeping with my back on the bed, and I was thinking of a few images. Then one came by really quick, like it was goi…
